topaz325 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Riders come, riders go, can’t really blame riders for going after the best deal for themselves. “Would you like to work for my company for a £50k salary or another company for £38k salary.” Not really helping the current situation regarding clubs staying solvent and reducing costs for all but clubs have different budgets and sponsors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have explained this on another thread however TayorJ is half right when she said no one and not even the Workington promotion at the start of the season gave the team a chance, however what they did is now H18tory, and you are right "a very expensive part of the clubs H18tory" however it was never intentional (honest) and once the greased pig started to run no one could catch it. (injury free most of the season, carried a bit of luck when required, it all added up to a fantastic year) So to sum it up the team was built to keep costs low (and late in the pre-season as Worky waited a while before they declared to run) however no one expected it to grow into the monster it did and its always nice to "splurge" now and then and once you get carried on the tidal wave of euphoria and success the cost becomes immaterial (it shouldn't but it did). However this years team will be built on a strict budget (I hope) and anything near last years achievement will be a huge task for the team, but hey ho lets see where we get with it all. Predicted Wooden Spoonists last year and won everything, so who knows anything Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midget Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Glasgow are a total joke to British speedway. Pleading poverty in speedway star last week saying this will be there last year unless things change and costs reduce. Then poach a rider who has already agreed a deal with another club, offering silly money in the process. Well guess what Glasgow promotion, you are creating the problem, not just for yourselfs but also for every other club In British speedway. I think rasmus has made the wrong choice and one he could regret. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Tough season for 10k next year where he'll be second or third in the averages. No more reserve slots to fall back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more reserve slots to fall back on. but mason was a reserve that was beating heat leaders on a regular bases . rode @ 6/7 for most of the season and then he rode in the main body of the team and pushed rene down to reserve . he can and will do what he has to . is there anyone out there smarter than their kids nowadays lol .

Here goes we spoke to Bach at start of season but could not agree terms funny Workington did [big spenders outbid us ] Next point Glas gow phoning a Workington rider mid season and asking him to sign for us think your making story up [ you don't approach riders mid season when their contracted to a club ] we did speak to a rider before the play offs and he told us of their problems.Maybe that's what he told you.Finally who have we nicked Not such a clever arse Manse ..wrong again , not Rasmus I’m afraid You are all here crawling from under your stones after we knocked you out of the Championship , quiet as little mice ...you really do think you know everything but alas you don’t . From the horses mouth I think the saying goes . So looks like I go into another season praying you win naff all , strangely the Witches curse has worked so far so here’s to 2019 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
